Global market demand for single-material plastic packaging will reach US$71 billion in 2025

Recently, Smithers released a special research report "The future of the single-material plastic packaging film market in 2025 " and pointed out that from 2015 to 2019 , the global single-material plastic packaging film market has a compound annual growth rate of 3.

In addition, the Monoflex ES version developed in cooperation with Dow Chemical also contains a layer of PE film, but is also coated with a special OPULUX TM HGT coating on top.

In addition, the flexible packaging giant also launched PE+ , an innovative recyclable film designed for retail packaging applications.

At present, it can be used in various forms of filling and sealing form, and it is a sustainable substitute for OPP plastics (such as microwave-processable fresh food).

Coveris also demonstrated its recyclable technology for palletized products.

Beginning in the European Union, more and more countries and brand companies worldwide have promoted circular economy as an important factor affecting the application of recyclable single-material plastic packaging.
This initiative aims to improve the efficiency of plastic recycling and processing.

The new crown pneumonia epidemic has severely restricted the growth of the global economy in 2020 .
But research earlier this year showed that flexible packaging consumption has shown a reverse growth in 2020 , especially in Europe and North America.

In 2019 , single-material plastics accounted for 68.
6% of global flexible plastic packaging film production .
Compared with 2015 , this market share has declined slightly.
It reflects the market's desire for packaging materials with softer structures and higher barrier properties to replace rigid plastic packaging.

According to the difference in sealing strength and barrier properties, a single material structure cannot meet the requirements of all applications.
Overcoming these limitations has also become the focus of research and development of related companies, and new and innovative products are constantly being introduced to the market.
For example, Nestlé and Amcor announced the development of a recyclable single-material PP/OPP bag for pet food in late September this year .

From 2020 to 2025 , single-material flexible packaging will continue to gain market share from those multi-material packaging films used in some low- and medium-barrier bags.
People will see more and more single-material packaging using dehydrated food, detergent and dry pet food.
However, in the field of liquid packaging, single-material packaging bags are still more difficult to intervene.

Good recycling design improves the quality of recycled plastics, which in turn increases the use of recycled plastics and expands its application areas.
This is becoming a direct consideration for all packaging designs, including coated plastic and multilayer material packaging.
In order to achieve complete recyclability, ideally, all the different layers should be made of a single material (such as polyolefin).

From a printing point of view, how to improve the design and reduce the amount of ink used is also a factor considered in packaging design.
The easiest packaging to recycle is those that use less ink.
Especially for those packages that use a small amount of colored ink.
Because colored plastic packaging is mixed together, it will produce a dirty green when it is recycled.
The use of such green renewable raw materials is limited, which reduces the value of recycling.

Reducing printed graphics is feasible for some branded products.
However, it is in conflict with those marketing needs that rely on packaging colors on supermarket shelves to attract consumers' attention.

The blank of recyclability design is the core factor of high recycling cost and high recycling cost.
Product design only pays attention to functionality and not recyclability.
Single materialization is just a concept.
For example, take-out meal boxes and express packaging are all composite materials, and it is difficult to form a closed loop.
The recyclability design is a large system.
There are both a single-variety recyclability system and a recyclability design for each subdivision application field, such as plastic film, catering packaging, and flexible packaging.
